We absolutely love staying here! We always reserve a cabin and stay anywhere from 3-4 nights. We just stayed from August 9th - August 13th and we were sad to leave. The cabins are always beautiful and comfortable! They have a dog park that our dog Windsor loves, he even made a friend this year and we are looking forward to having him play with Harley again next year. Staff is always welcoming, friendly and helpful. This is our 3rd year in a row coming here and I would highly recommend it! See you next year ❤️🏡🌲🌊

I visited this campground recently, and 10 years ago. The property has been well maintained, and is improved in some areas. We stayed in cabins on both occasions, and they are comfortable and very clean. Electric+water hookup RV sites in the back side are reasonably spaced with some trees/foliage between sites. Overall, pretty good. The full hookup sites in the front are technically well equipped, but are a parking lot kind of layout. Tent sites in the forest area are awesome. Heavily wooded and quiet. Large clear spaces. Good fire pits, nearby dishwashing station, clean bath houses (showers require quarters). Check the details on the cabin you actually reserve to see how it is equipped, especially for the kitchen. Some are kitchens like a home, others are dorm fridges with a microwave.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Your team exceeded all of our expectations, and everyone in our group of 45 loved the venue. There was truly something for everyone. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the playground, and our families appreciated the variety of accommodations, including the tents, RV sites, and cabins. Additionally, the Celebration Hall served as the perfect gathering space for our group meals and games. We will definitely host our next family reunion here. Thank you again for your excellent hospitality.

5/5 Stars - Perfect Redwood Getaway! ​Emerald Forest Cabins and RV offers an incredible camping experience tucked right inside the beautiful Redwood Forest. The setting is absolutely stunning, surrounded by tons of gorgeous trees. ​They truly provide everything you need for a great stay. The amenities are top-notch, including exceptionally clean bathrooms and showers, a dedicated pet area, a dishwashing station, and easy recycling. The front office features a super convenient mini-market, and the game room is a fantastic bonus. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-managed, fully-equipped campsite in the Redwoods!

Neat camping grounds with adorable cabins along with RV with full hookups and tent spaces. Coin showers starting at 5 minutes for 50 cents. Showers and bathrooms were kept clean and in service. Cell service available throughout the park alongside free WiFi. The girl in the store was welcoming and very helpful. Campground is right outside of Trinidad & offers quick access to eateries, coffee, gas, groceries, beaches and hiking trails. We would be happy to stay here again in the future.
